Small dagger for I D

Iliad · 9th March 2009, 09:13 AM

Hi all, thanks heaps for the comments. I am puzzled by the metallic thread (or is it wire) wrapped around the grip of mine. The pics provided by other members don't have this metallic thread, whereas mine does. Is this significant?
Also have a problem with it being of recent origin; if so, then it has had a hard life!! What is "recent" anyway?
Thanks guys.

I don't think the wire is significant.

It is more the way the fittings and scabbard are made. It is done sloppy and has not the quality of the pieces shown by the other members.

Recent? I think it is made arround 1990.
